Black Ops 2 Won’t Be Getting Any More New Guns Via DLC

4.7
Black Ops 2‘s first map pack, Revolution included a bonus weapon as part of its offerings – the Peacekeeper SMG – for the first time in Call of Duty history.

With no gun DLC announced as part of Uprising, Black Ops 2′s second map pack, the community have begun wondering why there won’t be a new gun introduced to the game for people who purchase Uprising.

When people started to question Treyarch, asking if there was going to be any new guns included in the Uprising map pack, the developer cleared things up once and for all. The gun DLC was a one time thing for Revolution only and there are no plans to include weapons in future Black Ops 2 DLC.

Uprising launches on Xbox 360 April 16.

vokal they should give DLC out for free after its been on the market for a year like they used to do on cod2 and cod3 along with how most DLC was given out for free until late 2009-10 when the companies realized how much kids where spending to get into tenth lobbies on MW2.


They know how many people are willing to pay these crazy prices so they won't let all that money go.

Sazomi Theory:
The reason they are not releasing a new gun is because they will have to release a new update with it. The update would add the coding/skins/models/sound effects/blah blah blah of the new gun(s) to people's hard drives.

People who download the DLC will automatically have the coding and etc. for the guns, but those people will obviously use the guns in multiplayer games against people without the DLC. In order for the players without the DLC to see and hear what they are being shot with they have to have the codes/sounds/skins/models/ for the gun. If they didn't then it would just look like a black box shooting blanks at them.

DLC maps only work with other people who have the DLC maps. DLC guns are a different story. They have to be set out in an update/patch to allow players who didn't buy the DLC to see it or pick it up mid match as well.

This is all from experience from Counter Strike 1.6. Whenever you joined a custom game and didn't have the coding for the maps/skin/guns/mod/sounds/blah blah blah/technical etc. then the game would automatically download it for you and then you could join the game.


Sounds good! .... also adding gus is kinda stupid anyways. because the first like month everyone only uses that gun which is pretty annoying


I beleive they would just do an update that adds the coding/sounds/blah blah blah to your game, but not letting you use it. So you can pick it up mid-game.
